I've just bought a new mash tun. And I want to install my FB and add a dip tube.
The reason for this post is that the mash tun has a buildup in the middle, which is 1.4" from the edge of the tum. The wort will obviously gather in this area around the middle, so that's where I want the dip-tube to go.
The poblem is, that with only 1.4" of space, the fitting and the double ferrule will build more than this length. So how should I solve it?
I've found this dip tube on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190950792867&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
The way I see it I would need a dip tube that extends all across the mash tun (which is 13" in diameter) and get the wort from the other side. Or, add a 90deg elbow to the fitting, then the double ferrule and cut the aforementioned dip tube so it will get into that narrow area, to the side of where the fitting is located.
I havent bought the dip tube yet so other solutions are more then welcome. it has to be SS though.
